Kathleen's assessment of the cost of conflict review here more closely
matches mine (not as much the appeal, but I'm not going into that).
That is, the IESG - in determining whether there is a conflict - does
not spend inordinate amounts of time on independent submissions.  But
that is primarily because this is explicitly not a technical review.
My impression is that Andrew's comment is addressed at the technical
quality of documents.
